Banderaz Cheng, whose parents and brother's family are currently in Wuhan, is photographed in Surrey, B.C., on Jan. 28, 2020.Checking the phone first thing in the morning has become a new routine for Cici Liang, who was born and raised in Wuhan, China, the epicentre of the novel coronavirus that has infected thousands and killed more than 100 people in China.
Some Canadians born in Wuhan went ahead with their trips because Chinese authorities had said earlier that there was “no clear evidence” of person-to person transmission. However, the virus was already spreading, and some are now trapped, with travel in and out of the region shut down. Han Meijie said his parents flew to Wuhan for the holiday on Jan. 10 after Chinese officials said the virus was “preventable and controllable.” But the situation took a sharp turn days later.He said his parents, both 58, planned to return to Canada on Feb. 8, but their flight was cancelled.“Now, they’re stuck,” he said, adding that both are healthy and staying indoors unless they need groceries. But Mr. Han said he worries about his father, who has hypertension and diabetes.
“It’s not good to look at too much information about it. I still need to take care of our family here, and I cannot [afford] any breakdown.” “Do we have the ability to handle a sudden crisis?” said Banderaz Cheng, whose parents live in Wuhan.Suggestions from Chinese officials that the new virus could spread before symptoms show have intensified the fear, prompting calls for everyone returning from China to be quarantined for about 14 days, which is considered the maximum incubation period for most coronaviruses.
Sorry, but do not voluntarily bring the virus here.
Sure - put our two illegally detained Canadians on the first plane out and then maybe we can talk.....
